| 362 | [[Category: Hans Hess Family Cemetery, Pequea, Pennsylvania]] == Biography == Jacob Hess (b. 1706 in Switzerland, d. March 03, 1744/45 in Lititz, Warwick Township, Lancaster County, PA). He is the son of Hans (John) Hess and Magdeline who came over with the 1712/17 Swiss Immigration. Jacob had five children and was married abt 1730 to a Veronica (Bauer). Patented 200 acres in Warwick Twp on Sep 25, 1735 from William Penn, Jr. Tract was one mile east of Lititz in Warwick Twp. These 200 acres were farmed and owed by Jacob and his descendants from 1735 to 1922. Jacob's original house no longer stands. However, a log house built c 1744-1761 stands and was probably built by Christian and John, his children. A stone house also stands on the 200 acre tract, built c 1728 by John and Susanna Landis Hess. It stands some yards NW of the log house. Woolrich Hoover (Huber) came to Warwick Twp along with Jacob and farmed an adjoining 290 acres. Both were Anabaptists. Jacob was probably a deacon. Dr. Sowers was Jacob's physician. Because Jacob had no will, his oldest son received the homestead. Both Jacob and Veronica (his wife) are buried at the old log house homestead cemetery. 25 stones of the second to fifth generation remained in 1985.

His parents were [[Kundig-1|Hans Jagli Kundig]] and [[Meili-2|Elsbeth Jane (Meili) Kündig]] He married Elizabeth Barr. [Source?] Heinrich KENDIG immigrated to America with the 2nd large group of Mennonites from the Pfalz (Baden section) in 1717, after the return visit of his brother Martin, who was fetching more immigrants from the Kraichgau. He left Ittlingen in the Kraichgau and immigrated at age 45 [= b. 1672] on 24 Aug 1717 on one of the 3 Mennonite ships, with wife Barbara 42 and sons (Jacob age abt 23 [b. abt 1694] and Henrich 17 [b. Ittlingen abt 1698, d. 1736], along with his brother Martin with family. He supposedly immigrated with 3 first cousins: Hans Jacob KENDIG, George KENDIG, and Jacob KENDIG Jr; George and Jacob went to Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Henrich settled KENDIG Tract #8, between Christian and Hans HEER. He had 265 acres there, at Big Springs, near the still standing Herr House. Henry appears in the tax lists for Conestoga Township, Chester County (now Lancaster County) for the years 1718 (the first year included on the micofilm) to 1725.

Morgan.''' Hans Jacob Landis was born in 1667 in Rohrbach, Germany. The family had emigrated from Switzerland to Steinsfurt which is near Sinsheim and Rohrbach where many other Mennonites also settled away from persecution in Switzerland at that time. He died in 1730 in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster Co, PA.121 He was possibly the Hans Jacob Landis who was living in Immelshauf, Germany in 1709. with his wife Anna Witmer, their son Jacob (age 14), Hans (age 13), Benjamin (age 12), Barbara (age 4) and Anna (age 2).He and his family immigrated to Lancaster Co, PA in 1717. Jacob bought 150 acres of land with Ulrich Howry in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster Co, PA. Jacob took the southern half of the 150 acre tract and sold the other half of 75 acres to Andrew Schultz in March, 1722. He was first taxed at Lampeter Twp. in 1718 as Jacob Landis living next to Felix Landis and Benjamin Witmer. He was taxed again in 1721 and 1724 in Lampeter Twp. The inventory of his estate was filed on 2 Feb 1730 at Lancaster, PA and included 100 acres of land which was patented by his son Benjamin Landis. His widow Anna was listed by Richard Warren Davis as still living in Lampeter Twp area in 1732. Jacob's land in Lampeter Twp in 1746 was located next to Benjamin Witmer and near Felix Landus. In 1747 his land of 100 acres in Lampeter Twp was occupied by Christian Landis and in a deed to the land it states it was formerly Jacob Landis' Land. Christian was probably Jacob's youngest son.

'''The following is from The Strassburger Family and Allied Families of Pennsylvania, by Ralph Beaver Strassburger, 1922, pp. 328-340. ''' Jacob Landiss Among the earliest records of the Landis family in Pennsylvania is that found in the Minutes of a meeting of the Commissioners of the Property of the Province of Pennsylvania held at Philadelphia April 8, 1717. These Minutes tell of an agreement entered into by the Commissioners with Martin Kendig and John Herr for 5000 acres of land about Conestoga and Pequea Creeks to be settled by several of their countrymen lately arrived in Philadelphia. In the list of those lately arrived is found the name of Jacob Landis. It is further noted in the records that Jacob Landis and Ulrik Hawry, jointly, took of the 5000 acres afore mentioned, a tract of 150 acres. Jacob Landis took the south half of the tract, 75 acres, and held it until October 7, 1724, when he sold it to Andreas Schultz. In March 1722 Jacob Landis bought 200 acres from the London Company. Just how old Jacob was when he arrived in Pennsylvania is not definitely known, but from collateral evidence it is assumed he must have been about fifty years of age. This would fix his birth about the year 1670. He died about 1740. Jacob Landis had but one son, Benjamin. In the records Benjamin is mentioned as an alien, that is not born on English soil. As both Jacob and Benjamin are listed in the tax roll of 1718 one can safely assume Benjamin to have been at least 21 years of age at the time. This is supposed to be the Benjamin Landis known in the Pennsylvania records as Rev. Benjamin Landis, the Mennonite preacher. He had three sons, Jacob, Benjamin and Henry. Miss Beulah F. Mumma compiled a very complete record of his descendants in 1925. '''From Find A Grave:''' Jacob was a descendant of the 1614 Martyr, Hans Landis of Canton, Zurich, Hirzel, Switzerland. (This statement may not be accurate) The Mennonite Jacob Landis married Anna Witmer about 1688 in Zurich, Switzerland. Jacob knew her family growing up as he lived on a farm in the neighborhood. Jacob's family immigrated during 1717 and then in 1722 they bought farm land in Lancaster Co., PA and relocated one last time. The rest of Anna & Jacob's lives were spent on their farm of 200 acres on both sides of what is now know as "The Old Road". Their son Benjamin was the first Mennonite preacher in the area and where they lived became the center of the Mellinger church activities.

His parents are unknown, but at least two theories have been proposed :# Benson records the family tradition that he was the son of [[Kendig-32|John Jacob Kendig]] and [[Mylin-13|Jane Mylin]], of Bern, Switzerland.Benson, Evelyn A. (1975). Martin Kendig 1710 Mennonite Pioneer Leader. ''Mennonite Research Journal'', volume 16, number 2 (April 1975), pp.16-17. This is disputed by more recent research (see below).# Best suggests that he was the son of [[Kündig-54|Hans Jägli Kündig]] and [[Meili-2|Elsbeth Meili]].Best, Jane Evans (1992). Martin Kendig's Swiss Relatives. ''Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage'', Volume 15, Number 1 (January 1992), see pp.6-7, person KA342. '''Immigration''' Martin Kendig was one of six Mennonite men who on 27 June 1710 signed a letter sent from London to the Mennonite leaders in Amsterdam thanking them for their financial assistance for the upcoming emigration to America.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~boehm/genealogy/data/1710_Pequea_Settlement.pdf Wenger, Samuel E., Mennonite Historical Society, ''1710 Pequea Settlement Tour Resource Information Booklet, pages 1-6''.] Martin and his family arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, aboard the ''Maria Hope'' on 23 September 1710. Martin returned to Europe several years later to report on the conditions in the new land of Pennsylvania and to encourage friends and family members of the first Mennonite settlers to emigrate. He is believed to have come back to Pennsylvania with the second wave of Swiss settlers in September 1717.Friesen, Steve, "A Modest Mennonite Home: The story of the 1719 Hans Herr House, an early colonial landmark," Good Books, Intercourse, PA, 1990, ISBN 0-934672-90-3 '''Family''' Martin's wife was named Elizabeth when they deeded land in 1725 to Jacob Kendig (not their son). He was still married to Elizabeth in 1729 when they deeded land to John Burkholder.[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSXB-6S1M-F?i=76&cat=224489 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Deed Book FF, page 139.] FHL film #008035101, image 77 of 634. Elizabeth's maiden name may have been Bär. Martin's second wife is named in his will, made in 1748, as Barbara and is believed to have been the widow of his brother Heinrich Kendig. '''Land records''' In October 1710, the Mennonite immigrants were granted 10,000 acres of land in what is now Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Martin Kendig received the largest share : 1750 acres, plus six percent for roads, for a total of 1855 acres. It was composed of three parcels (265, 530 and 1060 acres). The cost was five pounds per 100 acres. The patent referred to Martin as "lately an inhabitant of Switzerland but now of this province." [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3QC-XPLM?i=636&cat=44185 Pennsylvania Patent Book A4, page 229], FHL film #008546915, image 637 of 783. In 1712, Martin received a warrant for 2,000 acres, "besides the 2,000 acres already confirmed to him and paid for." It was to be patented to the widow Maria Warenbur, but instead it was patented to two of her sons, Daniel Fierre and Isaac Lefevre.[https://archive.org/details/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/page/529/mode/1up Minutes of the Board of Property of the Province of Pennsylvania, Volume 1: Minute Book H. Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Volume 19 (1893), page 529.] On 22 November 1717, 5,000 acres near Conestoga and Pequea creeks were warranted to Martin Kendig and Hans Herr, "it being for settlements for severall of their Countrymen that are lately arrived here." [https://archive.org/details/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/page/622/mode/1up Minutes of the Board of Property of the Province of Pennsylvania, Volume 1: Minute Book H. Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Volume 19 (1893), page 622.] In January 1717/18, another 800 acres in Strasburg was patented to Martin for £80. It had been warranted to him in 1714.[https://archive.org/details/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/pennsylvaniaser219harruoft/page/627/mode/1up Minutes of the Board of Property of the Province of Pennsylvania, Volume 1: Minute Book H. Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Volume 19 (1893), page 627.] Martin Kendig appeared in the first assessment list of Conestoga Township in 1718. He was taxed from 1724 to 1727 as Martin Kendig and "son" at Conestoga Township. In 1724, Martin was appointed constable of Conestoga Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Two years later, he was appointed supervisor for Conestoga Township. He also initiated legal suits, for example in 1729 for debts owed him (unusual for a Mennonite). In 1725, Martin and Elizabeth Kendig sold half of their 1060-acre tract to [[Kundig-5|Jacob Kendig]] of Strasburg Township.[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSF1-S9PK-T?cat=224489 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Deed Book Q, page 187], FHL film #008067073, image 97 of 741[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSHW-4312-R?i=263&cat=224489 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Deed Book D, page 499], FHL film #007907086, image 264 of 711. Jacob may have been Martin's first cousin. On 8 May 1729, Martin was of Conestoga Township when he bought land in Chester County on the Delaware River from John Wade. (Source needed.) In 1744, Martin Kendig is reported to have given money to build St. James Church in Lancaster, even though he wasn't a member. (Source needed.) '''Will''' Martin Kindig, of Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, signed his will on 22 October 1748.

He emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1696, first to Germantown.[[#Filby|Filby]], Hans Graaf, arriving at Germantown, 1696. [https://www.wikitree.com/photo/pdf/Graff-888 Recollections of Levi Groff]He may have emigrated with his brother Martin, who is mentioned in his will. [[Space:Last_Will_and_Testament_of_Hans_Graeff|Last Will and Testament of Hans Graeff]]Hans purchased 84 acres from Jan Krey in "Germantownship" on March 27, 1704, which and his wife Susanna sold on May 16, 1715 (along with more land they had acquired) to Gerhard Rittinghuysen.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 75From there Hans went west, and appears to have patented land in what is now West Lampeter, before finally settling at what is now known as Groffdale around 1717. Hans warranted 1419 acres in this area (previously warranted by one Martin Kendrick) on October 4, 1718 and it was patented November 18 1737. Hans and his wife Susanna (Orndorff or Kendig) had six sons and three daughters. Hans died prior to May 7, 1746 (the date on which his will was proved) and is buried in the Groffdale Mennonite Brick Church Cemetery in Leola, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. === Birth === Although many sources cite a birth date of 1661, it is unclear of a primary source exists, and the Groff Book (vol. 2) puts birth date ca. 1675.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 84Jane Evans Best says the following on her conclusion that Hans is the son of Marx Graf: Since Hans Groff (E) and Martin Groff (L), his brother, each had a son named Marx, I believe they were the sons of this Marx Graf (GR34).[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 76 === Marriages === Wife: Name unknown Date: Date unknown Issue: (note that Hans' will clearly differentiates between Jacob and his children by Susanna) * [[Graf-39|Jacob]] Wife (2): [[Orndorff-412|Susan Orndorff]] or [[Kendig-4|Susanna Kendig]]{{FindAGrave|15105332|sameas=no}} Date: ca. 1700 {{citation needed}} Citation missing/needed here.

It was patented June 16, 1718.[http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17PatentIndexes/A-AAPatentIndex103.pdf Pennsylvania State Patent Index][[#Egle|Egle]], p. 639 In 1715/1716, a warrant for a Hans Graeff was signed for 200 acres of land in what was then Chester County[[#Egle|Egle]], p. 597. On April 16 1718, a warrant is signed for Hans Graef for 300 acres at Strasburg, in Chester County. October 4 1718, a warrant is signed for Hans Graef for 1100 acres at Strasburg, in Chester County[[#Egle|Egle]], p. 642. In January 1727, Hans Graeff requests to build a mill on Cocalico Creek[[#Egle|Egle]], p. 746. In 1735, Hans Graff warrants and patents 200 acres in Lancaster.[http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17PatentIndexes/A-AAPatentIndex104.pdf Pennsylvania State Patent Index] On November 18, 1737, Hans Graff receives patent for 1419 acres in Lancaster that had been originally warranted by Martin Kendrick et al.[http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17PatentIndexes/A-AAPatentIndex104.pdf Pennsylvania State Patent Index] On the same November 18, 1737, Hans Graff applies for warrant for additional 188 acres which is patented April 16, 1739.[http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17PatentIndexes/A-AAPatentIndex104.pdf Pennsylvania State Patent Index] === Name Variants ===Graf is variously spelled Graeff, Graffe, Graff, Groff, and was later anglicized to Grove. Graf is German for "Earl", so although no descendants are known to have adopted the surname Earl, some places named after Hans Graf and relatives bear the name Earl. === Burial ===Hans Graf is buried in the Groffdale Mennonite Brick Church Cemetery in Leola, Pennsylvania.The original tombstone of Hans Graf was missing for a long time, but is believed to have been found, bearing the inscription "H G". A second tombstone was made, reading: "HANS GRAF, The first Settler, Came from Switzerland A.D. 1696. Settlement was made at the head of Groff's Run. He purchased 1419 Acres of land from John Richard, S Thomas Penn, for 141L. 18 S. [equal to $686.80] along Groff's Run. He Built a log Cabin on the old Groff farm A.D. 1717. His purchase included the land on which the Groffdale Meeting House is built. Died A.D. 1746." === Other Hans Grafs ===There were a number of different individuals going by some variant of "Hans Graf" in Lancaster County around this time. This section will attempt to summarize information about them to help distinguish.Distinct estate inventories and wills proven in particular demonstrate that these are distinct individuals. ==== [[Groff-1101|Hans Groff]] (ca 1665 - 1726) of Conestoga ====Estate inventory was dated March 1, 1726. Appears to have settled in what is now East Lampeter in 1717. Married Anna Lichti about 1721-22.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 45 ==== [[Groff-1209|Hans Groff]] (ca 1670 - 1730) of Conestoga ====Estate inventory dated January 14, 1730. Appears to have settled on the Pequea creek, then in Strasburg, Chester County, in 1710. Married a woman named Ann.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 52 ==== [[Graff-284|Hans Graff]] (1662-1740) of Rafz, Switzerland ====Married Ursula Neukomm on Feb 13, 1694, this is often cited as the name of the missing first wife of this profile. But this Hans Graff (1662-1740) does not appear to have emigrated.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 15 ==== [[Graff-283|Hans Graff]] (1698-1741) of Rafz, Switzerland ====Hans Graff (1698-1741), son of Hans Graff (1662-1740) also married a Neukomm: Veronica Neukomm, who is also sometimes listed as the first wife of the individual in this profile. ==== [[Groff-1210|Hans Groff]] (ca 1695 - 1749) of Lampeter ====Will proved February 1, 1749. Best notes that "one record" states a marriage to one Anna Bare.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p. 122==== [[Groff-1211|Hans Jacob Groff]] (ca 1672 - 1749) of Middle Creek ====Died October 20, 1749, estate inventory is dated October 28, 1749. Married a Hannah.[[#GroffBookII|The Groff Book, Volume 2]], p.125 === The Two Hans Graf Wills ===We find two wills under the name of Hans Graf (or close variants) in Lancaster Pennsylvania from about the right time. The first appears to match our Hans Graf, and has as executors Emanuel Carpenter, Rudy Sterner and John Morris. The second will "Pennsylvania Probate Records, 1683-1994," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99B-J9DL-1?cc=1999196&wc=9PM8-MNG%3A268493801%2C268520301 : 3 July 2014), Lancaster > Wills 1747-1830 vol I-K > image 88 of 786; county courthouses, Pennsylvania. is for one John Graff (Hans Graffe in the text), and the will itself is not recorded, being in German. However one of the executors is named Martin Bare, pointing to a possibility that it is this second Hans Graf who has the connection to an Anna Bare (or Bar/Barr). This second will is proved February 1, 1748, long before the suspected death dates of any descendents of our Hans Graf who are themselves named Hans/John. === External Links ===[https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Hans_Graff_%286%29 Hans Graf on WeRelate] === Research Notes of Colin Grove ===Martin Kendrick/Kundig is found both in the warrant maps of Earl (including previous warrant of Hans Graf's land) and the warrant maps of Pequa, leading one to wonder if Hans Graf followed his (possible) in-law. There are also numerous "Bear" surnames in the area, a possible match for Hans' theoretical wife Anna Bar(/Bare/Barr/Bear). == Biography (old) == I think it's likely that two different men have been conflated by the recent merge of [[Groff-345]] and [[Graff-389]]. The life dates (1683-1733 vs. 1661-1746) are not close, one of them seems to be from Switzerland and the other from Alsace or Germany, and the marriage dates of Groff-345 and Susan Orendorf appear to overlap with the marriage of Hans Graff and Anna Bär. I am not familiar with this family so I don't have sources in my back pocket to offer here, but I think this merge needs to be walked back. - [[Smith-62120|Smith-62120]] 22:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC) :Hans is the son of [[Graf-27|Marx Graf]].:The Graf family known in this area (Zurich) since the early 14th century were a branch of an ancient rabbinical line.Forced to convert from Judaism or die by the murderous Roman Catholic Church,they did protest and became Anabaptists,in Hans case a Mennonite. :He was named after his grandfather,Hans Jagli Graf. :Hans grew up in Barschwill Switzerland.:He was falsly accused of treason and fled to Alsace France where he bore the title,Baron Von Weldon. He was cleared of the charges at home and invited to return and reclaim his position and wealth but he refused and instead answered the call of William Penn to come to America. His wife refused to come with him to the new country and she remained there. They had one son Jacob 1684-1766, he was not mentioned in Han's will.:Some historians believed he and his wife Barbara Brackbill lived at the Ephreta Cloister(and had forsaken worldly posessions). :Hans arived in Penn's Colony in 1695 just a few years after its inception, he purchased a 175acre farm near Germantown and was a part of the community there. :In 1703 he married Susanna(the maid) and started a family of 9.:In 1715 they sold the land to Garret Rittenhouse, son of William the Mennonite preacher and paper maker.:They had been hearing for years about the good land farther west and the led a group of fellow Swiss Mennonites with them to Saurersburg and bought 1000acres on the Pequea creek.:Later as the story goes, in persuit of run away horses, discovered the area that became the Earl Township. Named to honor him, Earl is the english name for Graf. ---- One of the first Groffs in America, especially in the Pennsylvania area, was '''Hans Conrad Groff'''. He settled in the region later to be Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania (the area famous for the 'Pennsylvania Dutch'). From Baretswil, Switzerland and a prominent family, Han Groff was the son of Max Graf of Switzerland. However, Hans left his homeland with his brother, Michael or Martin (1675 - 1760) to escape religious persecution. The family were of the Mennonite faith / practice. They first traveled to Alsace, Germany for a short time then arrived in Pennsylvania about 1695, an area open to religious immigrants and welcomed by William Penn. Hans carried with him the family bible printed in 1585. First he was in Germantown, PA. He sent for his family. His wives over the years were Susan Orendorf Kendig and Anna Bare. Hans Groff purchased vast amounts of land by the early 1700s. The land originally purchased from the William Penn family by Martin Kendig then was sold to Hans Groff. His log home alongside a large white oak tree was built on ‘Graf’s Run’ / 'Groff’s Dale' (named for Hans Groff) in Lancaster Co. which was very much a wilderness. It was a few miles west of New Holland, PA and eventually became known as Groffdale. Working as a farmer, Hans then became a trader of goods. Hans (also referred to as 'John') traded many items with the local Indians(even learning their language), such as vegetables, milk and blankets in exchange for furs. Over the years he became quite wealthy. Land for the Groffdale Mennonite Church was given by Hans Groff in 1717. His sons who carried on the family lineage were: John (born in Switzerland), Peter, David, Daniel, Marcus and Samuel. Some sons and grandsons over the years changed the spelling to ‘Grove’. ==Research Notes by Janet Binkley(Sources included within)== Reportedly Hans Graff b. about 1661-1672 was son of a Marx GRAFF of Bäretswil, Zürich, Switzerland, and his wife Elsbath. Richard Davis suggests Hans GRAFF is the son of Hans Jägli GRAFF b. 15 Jun 1623 and Elisabeth PFENNINGER. Again, ages don’t quite match. Myrna Grove says Hans GRAFF the wagon builder and wagoner who went to Germantown in 1696 was son of Marx GRAFF of Steinsfurt, and a first cousin of Hans Jacob GRAFF. She says he went unmarried to America, with relatives paying for his voyage. He became an Indian trader. By 1704 he was doing well enough to purchase 84 acres from Jan KREY near Germantown, and married Susanna KENDIG of Germantown. However, Wrightsman says Hans GRAFF of Steinsfurt immigrated with his second wife in 1703, and his son Jacob may have been born in Steinsfurt (2 Apr 1699). The Hans GRAFF b. abt 1675 in Ittlingen, m. to Susanna KENDIG of Ittlingen, was grandfather of the Barbara GRAFF who married Christian ‘the Bridge Builder’ BINKLEY about 1769. He is the Hans GRAFF who is most famous in Lancaster Co, having been wealthy — Groffdale /Graffsthal west of New Holland PA is named after him. Note that two men named Hans GRAFF were taking land in Lancaster County around 1717, and it is hard to distinguish them. While the 1675 Hans GRAAF settled in Lancaster Co in 1717, with the second wave of Mennonites who arrived on the 3 ships on 24 Aug, the slightly younger Hans GRAF had already arrived, spent some years at Germantown, then in 1716 took out a warrant of 1,000 acres in Pequea near the 1710 immigrants. This earlier immigrant was reportedly the son of Max GRAAF of Baretswil, Switzerland. Some Web sites say Hans was born in Baretswil and emigrated first to Alsace about 1695 and then to America, where he settled near Germantown PA, just W of Philadelphia. However, Richard Davis reports him as born near Ittlingen in the Kraichgau, Germany, and immigrating to Pennsylvania about 1704 — he lived at Germantown from 1704 to 1715, moving that year to Lancaster Co. Descendants told a family story that Hans was living near the Pequea but discovered a spring (west of New Holland) while searching for lost horses, and moved there. (He must hav been at the time living on the [upper] Pequea [below Paradise PA] , not near the 1710 tracts.) He died in 1746 in Earl Tp. Brackbill says he is the Hans GRAFF shown on the warrantee map of W Lampeter Tp, having taken an oblong of 300 acres that ran E to W (slanted a bit to the NW) abutting the land of Isaac LEFFEVRE and Hance MAYLEY. This tract was warranted 31 Jan 1714, surveyed 23 Oct 1716, patented to Hans GRAFF on 16 June 1718 [A-5-316]. The tract was on lower Mill Creek, about where Big Spring Run (Mylin’s land was called Big Spring) runs N into Mill Creek. Lee Arthurs, who has tracked all the 1717 tracts near Felix LANDIS, says Hans GROFF had 300 acres lying just to the W of Peter YORTEE’s land on Mill Creek, which on the E side abutted Derrick JANSEN’s 500 acres, which abutted Felix LANDIS’s land on Mill Creek. Richard Davis says Hans GRAFF signed a warrant for land in Lancaster, but did not take it up. Hans GRAFF also took 1,030 acres that were the E half of a tract in modern P.O. zip code 17572, below Paradise PA [the Strasburg Railroad cuts through the bottom 1/3 of GRAFF’s land there]. Warrantee map of E Lampeter Tp shows it as a long narrow strip running NW–SE, abutting Paradise Twp [to the E], surveyed ‘in year 1710’ for Hance GRAFF 1000 As. & All[owances], ‘divided 24 Oct 1716’ from the neighboring tract surveyed at the same time for Harman RIGHMAN. http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17-522WarranteeTwpMaps/r017Map2823LancasterEastLampeterWeb.pdf A Hans GRAFF had 1,150 acres surveyed [year not given] on ‘ye south east side of Conestogoe River’. This may be the 1,130 acres just mentioned, although they don’t lie on the Conestoga itself. A bit later, Hans GRAFF acquired tracts of land in W & E Earl Tps that were nearly as large as New Holland is today, but to the west of the city. His land reached from the Conestoga down to just west of New Holland, including the area of Groff’s Run (now Groff Creek) and the next big tributary to the south. The warrantee map for W Earl Tp shows Hans GRAEFF warranting 5000 acres & allowances on 4 Oct 1718 which were patent to John MOYER 2 May 1735. A tract of 1,419 acres & allowances that covered what became Groff’s Creek was warranted on 9th mth 22 day 1717 to ‘Martin KENDRICK et al.’ but then warranted 4 Oct 1718 to Hans GRFF, patented 18 Nov 1737 to Hans GRAFF [A-8-292]. The W Earl Tp warrant map shows that in 1742 Hans GRAFF’s sons Samuel, Mark, and Danial each got a farm touching his on the north. Richard Warren Davis in Jan 1994 Mennonite Family History (p. 9) confirms Hans GRAFF’s birth as about 1675 and says he came with his second wife to America, leaving his minor son Jacob in Germany. Jacob later appeared among the Palatines in London in 1709 and came on to America, where he shows on tax lists from 1717. (Hans’s first wife was supposedly Anna LICHTI. Hans first went to Germantown west of Philadelphia, where he bought property 1704 and lived to 1715. He signed a warrant for land in Lancaster in 1710 but did not take it up until 1715. He died 1746 in what is now Earl Tp. Information on his wife is also from this Davis article. I.D. RUPP’s history of the county included a “key footnote” recording the traditions of “Groff’s discovery of the fine spring at Groffdale, his big wagon used to haul Indian furs, and his achievement of learning the Indian language.” 1718 two Hans GROFFs and Jacob GROFF are listed as paying taxes in the Conestoga area, which included the whole area around Lancaster at that time. About 1724 Hans GROFF of Earl Tp became prominent in fur trading and transportation, and applied for acreage for a gristmill where the Cocalico Creek ran into the Conestoga. He is probably the 1724 tax list Hance GRAFT “Wagmr” [wagonmaker]. A Hans GRAFF of Lancaster Co. was naturalized under the law of 1728/39, another in Oct 1738 / May 1739.

He may have been born in Friedelsheim, in the Palatinate, in what is now Germany, where his parents were likely living. Friedelsheim is about 20 km west of Mannheim. Andrew's parents were [[Herschi-19|Christian Herschi]] and [[Zschille-9|Adelheit Zschille]]. He was included in his father's "will." The will was undated, unsigned, and written in German, so wasn't recorded, but it was probated in 1722. An "explanation" of the will, written in English, mentions his "three children Bennadick Herse Andrew Herse Anna Herse." It also mentions 500 acres of land that was to be divided equally between his widow and his three children.

Andrew (1702-92), also a Mennonite preacher, took up five hundred acres of land east of Big Chikis Creek and south of the Lancaster and Harrisburg turnpike, in West Hempfield Twp. The Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society (now called Mennonite Life) has a photocopy of a family register, written in German script and translated by Noah G. Good. A short introduction describing the register (not included here) doesn't provide any information about its origin. ''Genealogical Sharing'', Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, volume 4, number 3 (July 1981), page 30. The translation reads: : Family Register of three families of Andreas Hershe/ Hershey, great-grandfather, and grandfather Andrew Hershey. : Grandfather Andrew Hershey was born in Switzerland in the year 1702. From there his father, great-grandfather [to the person writing this account], moved to Friedensheimer Hoff in the Palatinate. In 1719 he moved to America with his father and brother Benjamin where he settled near Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His brother Christian had to remain at the Hoff till 1739 when he also came to America. These three brothers- Andrew, Benjamin, and Christian - were ordained ministers in the Mennonite Church. Andrew died in the year 1792 at the age of 90. He had twelve children: Christian, Andrew, Johannes, Benjamin, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Henrich, Peter, Maria, Catharina, and Adti [Ada]. :The fifth of the above-named of Andrew's sons, Jacob, had six children with his wife, Anna Newcomer. Their names were: Johannes, Jacob, Christian, Abrahaf [Abraham], Joseph, and Elisabeth. John was ordained to the office of ''ältesten dienst'' in the Mennonite Church [''Ältestendienst'' is used as bishop more often than deacon, but it can have both meanings. ''Vollendiener'' is often bishop, and ''Armendiener'' is deacon. These words leave no doubt, but ''Ältestendienst'' is less certain.] Joseph also was ordained as preacher in the Mennonite Church. John [Johannes], son of the above-named Jacob, had seven children with his wife, Anna Horst: Jacob, Machdalena [Magdalena], Anna, Fronica [Veronica], Johannes, Benjamin, and Joseph. Jacob was ordained as preacher in the Mennonite Church. ===Will=== Andrew Hershey's will was dated 22 March 1792, and it was probated in Lancaster County on 26 June 1792.[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-899B-VNMQ?i=433&cc=1999196&cat=227825 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Will Book F, page 368.] FamilySearch film #005534202, image 434 of 586.

I, ANDREW HERSHEY of Hempfield Township, County of Lancaster, Pa., being old and weak in body, but of sound memory and understanding, "God be thanked," and calling to mind my mortality, and being ‘blessed with some worldly estate, I therefore make this as my last will and testament in manner following: First—I commend my soul to the grace and mercy of God, and my body to be interred in a Christian manner. : Item 1. It is my will and I order that all my just debts and funeral expenses shall be paid out of my estate. : Item 2. I give and bequeath my plantation and tract of land on which I now live, being three hundred and eighty-eight acres, and allowance according to the lines in the deeds mentioned, unto my four sons to wit '''Andrew''', '''Abraham''', '''Isaac''' and '''Peter''', to each of them his share as they have it already surveyed and divided the same, together with the sixty-seven acres which I purchased of Velty, and had the deed made upon my son '''Christian''', who, afterward gave it to Peter and is included in the division as by the same to them, their heirs and assigns forever, for the price and value to which they heretofore consented and agreed upon, and have already paid a part there to their brothers and sisters as hereafter mentioned. : Item 3.

Some sources claim the men are cousins, but genealogical information proving this is as yet uncertain. A descendant of Andrew Hersche (1702-1794) has been Y-DNA tested, [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/hersey/about] but no descendant of Andrew Hershey (1697-1754) has been tested. Until a genetic comparison can be done, it remains speculative as to whether the two Andrews were indeed cousins. * In his book, The Relations of Milton Snavely Hershey, Lawrence Berger-Knorr (see source list) gives information about the 12 children of Andrew Hershey (page 11). However, he ascribes them to the wrong father. Andrew's will (see below) was written in 1792, but the other Andrew Hershey died in 1754. * A previous version of this profile gave Andrew the middle name "Guender." Is there any primary source that uses that name?

There are several early notes of Bars just south of the present city of Zurich Switzerland. There were several early references to Rifferswil Canton. As an example, the Romans built a highway called "Albis Strasse" that ran from Zurich to Bar through Rifferswil. This was in 58 BC when Julius Caesar took land from the Celtics. In 1019 the Bars were again identified with Rifferswil of Renfried. In 1179 another reference was made to the Bars of Rifferswil. Rifferswil is still there located about 10 miles south of Zurich and five miles from the town of Bar. Bar is an old but very well restored city that hasn't changed much since the early days. Bar is reported to be very rustic and scenic. Nearby is the city of Zug. It is more modern and is reported to have the highest per capita income in Switzerland. Middle Ages http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/u/c/David-L-Tucker/GENE0001-0001.html Data: Date: 3:: In 1339, following the Laupen war against the Hapsburgs, George of Verzliken released his right of oversight of the estate of Ober of Rifferswil. In 1344 Heinrich Baar of Rifferswil was recorded as one of the two stewards of this property. In 1412 Rudy Baar gave his nephew Hans Baar, a custodian of Rifferswill, two acres of land in Dulacher. In 1517 six Baar brothers from Hauptikon (Peter, Hans, Heinrich, Uli, Oswald and Heidi) were obligated to pay Klosher Chappel a yearly rent consisting of both money and produce. ===Family===Hans married Kathrina Huber.
